Trainer Noel Meade is expecting a big run from his smart three-year-old filly Caught U Looking in the Group 3 Denny Cordell Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies & Mares Stakes at Gowran Park on Saturday.

A winner of a similar grade race as a juvenile last season, the daughter of Harzand has acquitted herself well in stronger company since returning to the track at Navan in April.

Following a creditable fourth in a Group 2 contest at the Curragh on Champions Weekend, the filly makes a quick reappearance in this slightly easier grade.

Meade said: "I suppose it is (a hot Group 3).

"She ran last Sunday in a Group 2 (fourth at Curragh) and she has run to an ounce (of her mark) every time she has run.

"Hopefully she runs to that tomorrow and if she does, she will be thereabouts again.

"There are a couple of decent ones in it, but sure we will just keep our fingers crossed.

"This track, maybe it might suit her, you wouldn't know."
